As I Lay Here

as I lay here dying 
my life is flashing before
my eyes and all I 
see is pain and misery
what did i do wrong 
to deserve this type 
of death bleeding 
with no end in sight

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony

as i lay here dying 
its starting to get 
colder with every passing 
hour now its minutes
its starting to get 
darker around the 
edges and will i finally leave
this vile and revolting world

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony

even if i leave this 
world what will others 
remember about me will 
they remember me at all 
will they realize that 
i have done so much 
in my short life to 
help others through pain

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony
